Edit: Just noticed that there are 3 copies of this thread. Please apologize. When I tried to submit my post, I got an error message saying something like "gerneral server error 500" or so. I retried twice before I noticed that the error didn't prevent the posts from appearing on the forum.

 

To the admins: Please feel free to delete the superfluous threades!

 

 

Looks like Solarex has managed to escape the attention of this forum so far. I found it accidentally, and was quite impressed. Not much eye candy, but very much playable, despite its alpha state.

 

Here is what the developer says:

"Solarex is a space traveling, trading and prospecting game built upon a stellar system generator. There is a galaxy full of stellar systems with all sorts of treasures to explore - so enter your spaceship, buy some fuel and head off!"

 

A huge galaxy is waiting to be discovered, big star systems, where you can trade, mine, upgrade your ship, etc. I don't know if there are any opponents, but "dangers" are hinted at somewhere in the description. I can't say (yet) how interesting it is to explore this galaxy, and I don't know much about what future releases will contain (it's definitely in active development), but if you want to have a look yourselves, here is the link:

Game is very broken for me. The galaxy map is basically unusable, so there's no way to do anything except look at the station services or fly around a system (which seems pointless in the current build). Could be a Mac thing, though.
